DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The first named inventor for the present invention herein tentativelyentitled “The Daisy Chained Audio Speaker System” teaches a wireharnessed connected series of (identical or non-identical) AudioSpeakers. The term “Daisy Chained” is actually Computer language whereseparate and distinct machines become connected by a “SCSI” connectorplug and wire interface, whereby a (1) Printer is connected to a (2)External Floppy Disk drive, and it to a (3) External CD/DVD BurnerDrive, and each of these now “Daisy Chained Computer Peripherals” becomeconnected by “SCSI” interface at the rear of a Computer at the installed“SCSI Card” interface thus providing full empowerment and acknowledgmentand control of each of the separate machines that are made operable insuch a “Daisy Chained” configuration.

The present invention component parts herein become electrically wireharnessed by all wire leads [11][12][13][14][15][16] as shown hereinjoined by 2Pin Connectors [4][10] The term “Harnessed” is a system ofinsulated conducting wires bound together in service upon a machine.

The selected numerical count of Audio Speakers [17][18] in the presentinvention herein of (6 to 7) may be connected in a series or parallelelectrical configuration. The term “series” means that the componentsare connected end-to-end in a line forming a single path for electronsto flow.

Therefore, if in a “series” electrical configuration, the amount ofcurrent is the same through any component in an electrical circuitconnected across each components wire leads. The term “parallel” meansthat the component parts are connected across each other, formingexactly two sets of electrically common points[05][06][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The term “branch” in a parallel circuitis a path for electric current formed by one of the load components(such as the optional microphone and wire herein [07][08].

The present invention herein includes at least the following basiccomponents: a selected numerical count of Audio Speakers [[17][18], theharnessing of the electrical wire leads to form a “series” or “parallel”configuration [15][16] with an optional “branch” [7], the requisite hostof a “jewelry chain” (ornamental or genuine) [25] for the mounting andsupport thus completion of the structure. The (female or male) 3.5 mm(stereo or mono) Jack [01][09] is the interface where externallyconnected is the required Audio Input Source signal empoweringelectrical current. The required Audio Input Source signal empoweringelectrical current may be provided by such as an external BluetoothReceiver/Transmitter or such as by a physical line-in Audio Sourceelectrical input signal or as plugged into to a Mobile Device or aPortable Radio or CD Player or MP3 Player etc. The 3.5 mm (stereo ormono) Jack is the interface component for the present invention herein.

The dimensions of the component parts herein may vary, and as well thedimension of the requisite host of a “jewelry chain” (ornamental orgenuine) [25] for the support and completion of the structure [FIG. 15].

The junction of component parts wire leads [15][16] of the presentinvention herein may be soldered together. Heat shrink and electricaltape may be used to seal and separate the soldered connection wire leads[03][15[16]. The Audio Speakers [18] and the (female or male) 3.5 mm(stereo or mono) Jack [01][09] are modified to each bear a 2Pinconnector (female or male) [04][10].

The connected component parts assembled then become affixed to therequisite host of a “jewelry chain” (ornamental or genuine) [25] for theform and support and completion of this structure.

The length of the present invention herein may vary pursuant to theselected numerical count of Audio Speakers [17][18], and likewise shallthe length of the requisite host of a “jewelry chain” (ornamental orgenuine) [25] for the form and support and completion of the structure.

The present invention is solely powered by the Electrical Voltage andAmplitude of the Audio Input Source signal. The present inventionrequires absolutely no electrical charge and bears no on board powersupply.

The present invention herein is “controlled” by the Electrical Voltageand Amplitude of the Audio Input Source signal, as the service of theend-user-chosen Audio Input source signal is maintained, and the AudioInput source signal is only controlled at and from the Audio Inputempowering source providing device or machine externally connected bythe end-user.
